Spectacular Corner Fifth Avenue Residence
Perched high above Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rarely available southwest corner residence at 1030 Fifth Avenue is a true gem. Originally 12 rooms and now thoughtfully reimagined into 9, the home offers a gracious layout, exceptional light, and breathtaking views
A private elevator landing opens into an elegant entry vestibule, leading to a grand gallery that sets the tone for the residence. Straight ahead, three expansive, side-by-side entertaining rooms-the living room, formal dining room, and library-boast oversized windows framing stunning vistas of Central Park's ever-changing landscape.
Both the living and dining rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces, while the corner library enjoys unobstructed views of the Park and a glorious southern exposure with views of the city skyline and the iconic architecture of the Met.
The private bedroom wing occupies the tranquil southern side of the apartment, enjoying abundant sunlight and privacy, thanks to the low-rise, landmarked mansion across the street. The master suite is generous in scale, offering extensive closet space and a spa-quality en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms each have their own marble en-suite baths.
The kitchen is vast and sunlit, with a welcoming dining area and top-of-the-line appliances. A large pantry and a full laundry room provide added convenience, along with a separate staff room and bath.
This extraordinary residence includes a private storage room in the building's cellar.
Built in 1925 by esteemed architect J.E.R. Carpenter, 1030 Fifth Avenue is a prestigious limestone cooperative with just 16 residences. The building offers exceptional privacy, a newly renovated and architecturally significant lobby, full-time white-glove staff, and a dedicated resident manager.
Financing up to 30% is permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer.
